Government adds Romanian Lottery to Sovereign Investment Fund  

The Dancila government passed on Wednesday an emergency ordinance to allow the Romanian Lottery to be included in the future Sovereign Development and Investment fund.

The OUG was passed ahead of the government decision that will create the sovereign fund, according to the government spokesman Nelu Barbu.

The ordinance was passed at the Finance Ministry’s proposal and it changes the law regarding the Romanian Lottery’s operations so that its shares are transferred from the state to the sovereign investment fund.
